| Reverse description | A three-quarter portrait of American naval officer and polar explorer Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd dominates the reverse, depicted wearing a heavy fur-collared flight jacket and holding navigational instruments. To his left, a polar azimuthal projection map of Antarctica is prominently displayed, referencing his historic expeditions to the South Pole. The legend RICHARD E. BYRD arcs along the upper border in bold raised lettering, with the denomination $50 inscribed below in the field. A decorative border of fine dashes encircles the design near the rim, and the Franklin Mint mark FM appears in the lower field. |
